Today we celebrated McKenzie's birthday though it was really yesterday and today is actually Mikey's birthday. She turned 1 and he turned 3. I have no more babies! Cory swears he isnt done though and he will go until I get my Scott...lol.
We had a really good time and Cory was in his glory cooking for everyone looking so grown up. Everyone kept telling us what a great son we had and how proud we must be of him. What a change from just 10 years ago. You could see the glances between Cory and me how funny this all seemed. Evidently Cory has become something of a leader of a crew on his new job and he must tell the people under him to "get it right" a lot because they have taken to calling him Get Right instead of simply Cory. When they told me that I laughingly said "you should have heard some of the things I have called him!"...everyone busted out laughing.
Everyone raved about how well Cory BBQ'd the boston butts. They just melted in your mouth. Mandy's father's wife made potato salad to have with it and Mandy's mother brought baked beans. We had cake. I got some good pics of kenzie eating the mash it cake. Cory is holding her on his lap. The pics arent that great though because I only had my cell phone as Billy was at work and I was afraid to use his professional camera without him there. The lighting in their kitchen isnt very good. I can see them though, thats all that counts.
Maybe as the years get older we can do the kids birthdays together but we simply couldnt move this first birthday up to VA and have all Mandy's people miss this important milestone. We did invite Jamie to come on down here to have Mikey's 3rd here with Kenzie. That would have been just fine but they didnt want to do that.
I will post a couple of the pics as soon as I can. She is getting so cute. She definitely got hair from my side of the family. She is going to have fairly straight hair with just a little body to it. No kinky curlys. By this age Keyana was pure nappy headed. Kenzie also has hair the same shade as Jamie's. I tease Mandy that she snuck off with Jamie...lmao. Kenzie is also just about the size of a 9 month old baby. She is just now fitting into 9 month old clothes. She weighs about 18/19 pounds and is about 28 inches tall. But lord she is now running. And into everything! She reminds me a whole lot of Jamie. She can climb into and out of her walker. I have Keyana's old little climbing slide and toy thing we had inside and then outside. I am going to wash it off real well and then put it together and bring it back inside. It will about fill up the living room but oh well. Its one of those big plastic playhouse type things.
